Synopsis "Delivering London's Olympic Dream: A Long Life in Sport -- Highlights and Crises"
A memoir on the fun of playing the sport of badminton, leading to the development of Scottish national body--with the building of its own hall and offices--then the international federation with a revolution in the politics and commercial impact on the worldwide sport. In an extension to the Olympic movement, the inclusion of badminton in the program of the Olympic Games is discussed. Reedie was asked to lead the British Olympic Association, the creation of a logical government structure for sport in the UK which led to long-awaited funding for facilities and athletes. Success in performance led to bids to host the Games. The establishment and the success of the London bid in 2005 was the catalyst for re-building the East End of London and the success of Team GB, its athletes and those with disabilities in the Games of 2012. Becoming a member of the International Olympic Committee moved his experience to the major sports organization in the world and ultimately to the fury of Russian doping practices.
